Popular Post mark poulson Posted January 26, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 This is for Dave, and all the other folks here who can actually use a computer and get the most out of one. Here's a lure making software that seems like it would be useful: www.youtube.com/watch?v=UA2CqTBrMS8 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salty's Posted January 27, 2017 Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 It's free but you get nothing out of it. They don't give you any gcode etc. You have to buy from them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jigginpig Posted January 28, 2017 Report Share Posted January 28, 2017 Pete, I just want to say how awesome Australia is. I hear the girls are terrific, but I guess that is neither here nor there. You lot are always great fun as far as I can tell, you have giant freshwater grouper looking things that you call cod and which you fish for like they were bass, you always seem willing to forgive us no matter how stupid we become, and you have enormous deadly spiders. *end gratuitous threadjack* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robn510 Posted January 28, 2017 Report Share Posted January 28, 2017 Quote WellingLures Oy Ltd. will be the sole provider for any physical or immaterial product made based on designs done by using the site. well s__t.. guess you could have the proto made from them and then make your own mold. would still have to balance the lure but it would eliminate carving and sanding the overall shape completely even. i'm going to play with it. thanks for the link.

Hughesy Posted January 28, 2017 Report Share Posted January 28, 2017 Does anybody know of any software on the market (that you can buy)that is similar to this and can be used with a 3D printer? Dave? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salty's Posted January 29, 2017 Report Share Posted January 29, 2017 Google Sketchup works great. Many free or low cost out there. All can be converted to gcode. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave? Any software that can save the model to STL type file can be used with a 3D printer. I haven't tried any cheap or free software because I have never needed to, I am fully trained on CATIA V5 which does everything I need.

I hear the girls are terrific ''---Not sure about that Jigginpin, all girls are awesome when you are 20, I'm way past that -- Knowing what I know now, I'm converting to ''Hinduism'', so when I come back (probably as a dog or cow) I can use my vast untapped psychology on them. Yeah everything is supposed to big here and bites, but my problem is mosquitoes, they drive me crazy. It's wet season here (Up North ,not anywhere near me) . Last weekend 15 people tried to cross a flooded river in a 4x4 and got washed off the crossing, 12 got out, they found another 2 drowned, guess where the other one is, part of someones crocodile handbag in a few months I reckon--just one of many (a lot are tourists and fishermen) who will not see Easter, Summer is just warming up and the sharks haven't even started yet !!!!!

stickleback Posted December 31, 2017 Report Share Posted December 31, 2017 Has anyone tried the design software yet - it's been a while since the release of this product & i can't find much feedback about it anywhere? Happy New Year for tomorrow!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kent I Posted January 2, 2018 Report Share Posted January 2, 2018 This looks interesting. I've been using Autocad Fusion 360 (also free for amateur users) which is a great deal more flexible and will output a variety of file formats. It has a CAM module, but I haven't used it, so don't know what it does...presumably it's a post processor. Someone mentioned Sketchup. does the free version now have solid modeling capability?
